Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

The 4th Joan Armatrading album is a little more upbeat than the self titled "Joan Armatrading" album that preceded it. It doesn't quite hit the heights that album did but is a good album none the less. Side 1 is brilliant (1-5) especially Warm Love & Never Is Too Late. Side 2 is not as good but contains the J.A. classic Willow a concert staple, I also love the song Opportunity a tale of a robbery gone wrong.
